Is it Thingol?

Sorry Lothiriel.You posted it few minutes before me.

You are right about it being Thingol. He was speaking to the princes of Noldor who also wanted to piece of Thingol's pie and he would not have it.

who's next for a quote?

Lothriel.

Really??? Well, I kinda had a 'hidden' answer, and if you want, you can go instead of me.

OK:
"A wandering elf,a thrall escaped,whom Beleg met and comforted."

I don't know who said that....but I think they're talking about Gwindor. Maybe it wasn't spoken by anybody, or it was spoken by Turin. Either one!!

I think is it also Gwidor as he was the only elf I can think of who "escaped" from anything and helped Beleg. The quote also sounds of a omnipont narrative or a personal narrative (such as one's thoughts.)

It's Gwidor all right.

Guess this one:

" and after him they named his folk Nomin,"

who is this refering to and whom gave them the name?

Well, it is referring to Felagund, they named Felagund´s folk Nómin, after the word Nóm, that means Wisdom.
But what do you mean by "whom gave them the name" ?

I have this terrible habit of mistyping my thoughts. I had not mention "them" I meant "him".

yeah, got it right.

"Ye mighty of Arda, the Vision of Ilúvatar was brief and soon taken away"

I thought that quote was narrated. Hm, oh well. Is it Manwe? Or Melkor?

Narrated? I don´t think so.....
Nope, it´s not Manwë, nor Melkor.

...ummm ::thinks:;

Was it Varda? or Mandos?

No wrong! it was Yavanna, I knew I'd find it eventually.

I KNEW it was one of the Valar!

Yep Ravenna, Yavanna is correct. Your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

OK try this one.

'Why hast thou done this? Why dost thou attempt a thing which thou knowest is beyond thy power and thy authority?

Hm...Ilúvatar to Aulë?

Yes, Earendil; it was Iluvatar to Aule when he made the dwarves... Your turn.

"There everlastingly thy naked self shall endure the torment of his scorn"

Turin? Was that said by Turin when him and Saedros had that fight and then Turin chased him naked? Oh wait. Maybe it was one of Turin's companions. Hafta look...nope it's not. Oh what the hell, I'll just say Morgoth. I'm gonna get it wrong anyway.

This is the first time i have wondered out of the Books, so i dont know what to do, but the answer Luthien and Huan to Sauron on the Isle of Werewolfs, and the Scorn was to come from Melkor. Sorry if i wasn't supposed to answer that.

Don't be sorry, everyone has a chance to answer. And I'm the one usually wrong. The quotes sounds so familiar, but I don't like looking in my book for the answers, and I haven't read the Sil for a couple of months. Ok, I looked in the book just that once before. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] But welcome to the quiz room, Galorme!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I find no shame in look in the books, I do it myself quite often to double check my anwsers. Unless here you are not suppose to look.... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Do i get a go now? How about:

"Do they run like deer clad only in their hair?"

Can i be nasty and say who said it, who did they say it too, and who are they talking about. Can i do that?

I seems that the quote is from the story of Turin?

is it refering to the green elves that walk the forests?

I know I just read this two weeks ago and it is driving me nuts!

Eol, no, looking in the books is fine! I just don't do it. That's just me though.

Hm. I think it was said by Saeros to Turin when Turin came to Menegroth all unclean and...stuff. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

awww u beat me to it!

Yep it was indeed Saeros, and he was refering (well hinting) about Túrin's mother. Does someone else do one now?

i dont think he was reffering to anyone, just trying to tick him off and make fun of his household in general.

Yeah. And what a coincidence, look what Nienor did. I like Turin though, stupid Saeros. Well, ok death wasn't exactly the answer, but Turin didn't mean it..
Oh, so it's IS Saeros! Yess, finally I get a right guess!
I'll have to think of one for a little, I'm sorry! I won't be long.

"Journey light: but bring with you your swords!"

That has to be Feanor. No-one else would place Swords at No.1.

WHAT!!!!??? COME ON!!! I was hoping there would be a little trouble with this one! Just ONE reply. Not even 2!!!!
Sorry Galorme. You know your right anyway! Go ahead.

Sorry i had The Hobbit, the LoTRs and the Sil read to me on a 1 and a half year cycle from about the age of 5, i know most of it off by heart. Hmm. I could be really mean and give you a piece of narrative and expect you to say Aelfwine, but then we would get into a big debate on who REALLY wrote the sil. So i will settle for this:

"How shall our voices reach Ilúvatar beyond the circles of the world?"

Some Elven people?? The Noldor. I don't know, I'm just guessing. Like I always do [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
